Volvo Group supports UN's Global Compact

Since 2001, Volvo has supported the UN's Global Compact, a treaty based on the UN's Declaration of Human Rights, UN convention against corruption, the conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO) governing basic principles and workplace rights, the OECD's Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the Rio Declaration on the Environment and Development.

The Global Compact has been introduced to promote responsible enterprise worldwide. By supporting the Global Compact, Volvo pledges to realize and integrate ten principles regarding human rights, work conditions and environment into its operations. Volvo will also be involved in disseminating the principles in a bid to encourage other companies to support the Global Compact.
